11 Hottest Spots in Miami Now

Miami will forever be the land of sugar-sand beaches and rum-soaked dance parties. But rotating fashion exhibits, a $65 five-course tasting menu, and origami workshops? These brand-spanking-new hot spots demand you start packing right now. Kate Donnelly reveals 11 good reasons to visit the Magic City today.

Up next: Chef Tom Colicchio will soon open his first Miami outpost at the hotel, the farm-to-table Beachcraft.
